The Civic Sense of Kashmiris

This book explores the idea of civic sense within the unique socio-political and cultural landscape of Kashmir. It examines how citizenship, responsibility, and public participation shape the relationship between society and the state. Drawing on historical experiences, contemporary realities, and field insights, the book highlights challenges such as weak institutions, mistrust, and lack of collective responsibility-while also identifying pathways toward a more conscious and engaged citizenry. It is both an academic inquiry and a call to action for building a stronger, more responsible, and participatory society in Kashmir.
